SCHRADER RACING'S SHELTRA SLOWED BY EXPIRED ENGINE AT MIS

INDIANTOWN, FL (June 19, 2006) -- Experience breeds patience but
20-year-old Patrick Sheltra is being forced to learn patience early in
his pavement career. The Florida native has had an impressive showing in
his three ARCA RE/MAX Series career starts but finishes indicative of his
performance still remain elusive.

Sheltra, qualified for his first ARCA RE/MAX Series event in 2005 at
Chicagoland Speedway but experienced early mechanical problems. For the
2006 season, he partnered with fellow dirt racer Ken Schrader for a
handful of events including this past weekends "Hantz Group
200" at Michigan International Speedway and the previous
week's race at Pocono Raceway. Sheltra piloted his Brady
Ranch/FloraGanics/Ken Schrader Racing #99 Dodge Charger into the top-15
and top-10 respectively before luck ran out in both showings.

Sheltra was looking forward to his first pavement top-10 finish in only
his second speedway start at the "Pocono 200" when a bump
from a competitor ended the #99 team's day with an accident on the
final green flag lap of the race. Traveling onwards to Michigan, Sheltra
qualified 31st for the "Hantz Group 200" in his first ever
attempt at the large two-mile paved oval. The Schrader Racing team
looked for redemption and raced conservatively early in the event and
Sheltra advanced into the top-15. The young short-track, dirt racing
wheelman even managed the foreign concept of speedway pit stops and was
solidly positioned in the top-20 as the halfway mark clicked off.

Looking towards a successful finish, the Schrader Racing team faced
disappointment once again as the engine expired before the checkered flag
flew. Sheltra was the last of six competitors to lose an engine,
completed 83% of the laps and was officially scored in the 33rd position.
NASCAR Nextel Cup ace David Stremme lapped the entire field en route to
his "Hantz Group 200" and was the only competitor to finish
on the lead lap.

"This is disappointing," said Sheltra. "We stayed out
of trouble and just wanted a decent finish since Pocono went so well and
we saw that top-10 flash before our eyes. I can't thank Ken
Schrader, Donnie Richeson, everyone at Ken Schrader Racing, my own crew
guys, Brady Ranch and FloraGanics for their support. We will be back at
both tracks with the goal of not just making the race, but
finishing."

Before returning to the seat of the #99 Dodge Charger in the ARCA RE/MAX
Series, Sheltra will rejoin his dirt racing team for a stint with
intensive U.M.P. Summernationals dirt late model tour.
